The focus of this article is on the development of the pancreas and biliary system, with a review of the most common congenital anomalies affecting the pancreas and biliary tree, including pancreas divisum, annular pancreas, congenital shortening of the pancreas, and choledochal cysts. Additionally, biliary atresia and pancreatoblastoma--both diseases of the pancreas and biliary system that almost exclusively affect children--are considered, with a discussion regarding the clinical presentation and imaging appearances of these disorders.

These procedures involve radical resection and a significant loss of pancreatic tissue, which can lead to exocrine and/or endocrine pancreatic insufficiency. In selected cases of benign tumors or those with low malignant potential, central pancreatectomy can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates.

Given the increasing trend of cholecystectomy, it is imperative to reassess surgical and surveillance strategies in consideration of the potential long-term risks for digestive tract cancers. The objective of this study was to assess the risk of gastrointestinal (GI) and hepato-biliary-pancreatic (HBP) cancer incidence after cholecystectomy. The data for this cohort study was obtained from the National Health Insurance Service database in Korea.
